Lt(a,b)

Public research checkpoint, not admitted to Alpha or Stable. Alpha v30 remains 3222 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. The on-demand Alpha Lean service does not yet expose these checkpoint theorems; their independently checked literal bundles and unchanged sources are available below.

Witness-defined strict order on natural numbers.

Conservative notation; not a theorem, primitive, or axiom.

Definition in prerequisite notation

S a ≤ b

Only definitions earlier in this acyclic notation graph are used here.

Hygienic expanded first-order definition
exists h. h + S a = b

The unchanged native kernel never receives this surface symbol. Binder-safe expansion produces only its existing first-order syntax.

Direct definition dependencies

none — first-order arithmetic only
